I apologize. There’s a lot of debate as to whether onions and tomatoes are fruits or vegetables and they can both be vegetables according to many sources.

- TeMPOraL 3y agoAs the saying goes, knowledge is knowing onions and tomatoes are fruits; wisdom is not putting them in a fruit salad. (And of course the whole issue is bullshit - it stems from us using words that are kinda, but not quite, genotype classifiers, in contexts where we want phenotype classifiers. Tomato is a fruit, but does not go with fruit salad. A whale is a mammal, but you use a fishing ship to hunt for it, etc. There are grasses you cut with a chain saw, and trees you cut with a lawn mower. Plenty of legacy descriptors in common language.)
